Project Manager

Are you ready to shape London's future infrastructure? As a Project Manager within our Investment Delivery team, you'll play a pivotal role in overseeing significant construction and engineering projects, directly influencing the city's progress and resilience. Join our Capital Programme department and become part of a high-performing team making a tangible difference.

Imagine working in the heart of London, collaborating with industry leaders and professionals focused on delivering innovative and complex projects. You'll be empowered to create and implement effective project delivery strategies, forecast resource and material requirements, monitor costs, and manage contractor performance-all while reporting regularly on progress and achievements. With blended working options after your probation, you'll enjoy three days in our vibrant London office and two days remote, giving you flexibility and balance.

As Project Manager, you'll ensure the highest standards of safety and environmental management, conducting quality audits and compliance checks from inception to completion. You'll manage commercial arrangements with contractors, keep project programmes on track, and provide monthly progress and cost reports. Your expertise will be central to mitigating risk exposure and contributing to regulatory reporting, including auditing actual and forecast cost and output data. Working closely with partners across Infrastructure Planning, Design, Connections, Supply Chain, Procurement and Network Operations, you'll deliver projects that minimise customer interruptions and complaints, while maintaining exceptional service standards. You'll develop project execution plans, lead diverse, multi-contract project teams, and ensure all team members are fully aware of safety and environmental requirements.

We're searching for a Project Manager with substantial experience managing construction and engineering projects valued at £10 million or more. Ideally, you'll hold a degree in Electrical or Civil Engineering with a project management emphasis, and possess commercial awareness and familiarity with best practice construction management. Safety qualifications (such as IOSH Managing Safely) and experience with CDM regulations and ISO9001 are advantageous. Proficiency in Primavera P6, online project collaboration tools, Microsoft Project, Office Suite (Excel, Word, Access), and recognised project management qualifications (APM PMQ or higher, or a HNC in Electrical or Civil Engineering) are desirable. However, we welcome applications from those with a strong record of accomplishment in project management within construction, electrical distribution, or similar sectors.

Your health and safety responsibilities will be paramount. As a manager, you'll ensure your team and others are protected, briefed, and competent in workplace safety and environmental standards, maintaining compliance at all times. We expect all employees to understand the risks and controls associated with their roles, with guidance always available if needed.

Alongside a competitive salary of £80,574 plus a 3% bonus and inner London allowance, we offer exceptional benefits: 25 days' annual leave plus bank holidays, private medical cover, additional reservist leave, a generous pension scheme, tenancy loan deposit and season ticket loan options, tax-efficient benefits including Cycle to Work and green car leasing, occupational health support, discounted gym membership, employee assistance programme, and access to hundreds of retailer discounts via our Switched On scheme.
